Avon High School Soccer Standout Lisevick Signs National Letter of Intent

AVON, CT – Avon High School soccer standout Taylor Lisevick on Wednesday made it official — she is taking her talents as a student-athlete to Ohio State University in the fall.

On Wednesday, before an audience of family, friends, coaches and school officials, Lisevick signed her National Letter of Intent to play for the Buckeyes next fall.

“Taylor has distinguished herself as one of the hardest workers on the field,” her coach, Jim Murray, said. “This year, I was fortunate to have her as a student and I’ve seen that that work ethic

extends into the classroom, too.”

A midfielder for the Falcons, Lisevick was a three-year varsity starter and an integral part of the 2014 team that advanced to the Connectcut Interscholastic Athletic Conference Class L final. A captain for the Falcons this year, she had to lead from the bench for most of the season as she nursed an ankle injury.

She is recovered now and ready for the trip to Columbus, Ohio.

The Avon High School Booster Club has scheduled ceremony for May 24 to recognize all AHS athletes who are moving on to play a varsity collegiate sport after graduation.
